Mrs. Patience Hartley
Kindergarten Explorers Teacher
My name is Patience Hartley and I am most likely to respond to Ms. Patience or Patience (even in the classroom) – Mrs. Hartley is my Mother in Law’s name! Teaching is one of my favorite things – and kids who are learning to love or at least enjoy learning are absolutely the people to be with!
I received my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education from Grace Christian University in Grand Rapids and hope to go back to school myself one day – I love to learn! I spent a year teaching in the 3’s Preschool room here at MCS prior to being home for a few years while my girls were little – I am excited to be back in the classroom & teaching alongside Kari Bonnema this year.
I love to hang out with my family – my husband & I have two girls and love the beach & family game or movie nights! We spend lots of time with family, love to travel, but sleeping is also a favorite.
Favorite Verse:
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12: 1-2
